Yahoo creates news network of freelancers

The Yahoo Contributor Network will use the work of 400,000 freelance writers, photographers and videographers from a firm called Associated Content that Yahoo bought in May, USA Today explained. While previously the Associated Content stories were sold to Reuters, Scripps, and other news outlets, now the work will appear only on Yahoo websites.

Writers and photographers interested in contributing content to Yahoo can go here. In general, contributors get paid based on the amount of web traffic their work generates.
